Ohio (5-6; 3-4) at Akron (0-11; 0-7)- 6:00, ESPN+
Pick: Ohio
Western Michigan (7-4; 5-2) at Northern Illinois (4-7; 3-4)- 7:00, ESPNU
Pick: Western Michigan
Thursday, November 28th
Ole Miss (4-7; 2-5) at Mississippi State (5-6; 2-5)- 8:00, ESPN: Egg Bowl! The Bulldogs need this game to get bowl eligible, but the Rebels have been the better team over the past few weeks and I think they play spoiler here and get the win.
Pick: Ole Miss
Friday, November 29th
Texas Tech (4-7; 2-7) at Texas (6-5; 4-4)- 12:00, FOX: Both of these teams have failed to live up to expectations, but I think that the Longhorns want to avoid a losing season.
Pick: Texas
(24) Virginia Tech (8-3; 5-2) at Virginia (8-3; 5-2)- 12:00, ABC: This fun rivalry this time is for the right to play Clemson in the ACC title game. I think the Wahoos are due to come through in this rivalry and I think Bryce Perkins has a big game to lead them to a win.
Pick: Virginia
Bowling Green (3-8; 2-5) at Buffalo (6-5; 4-3)- 12:00, ESPN+
Pick: Buffalo
Kent State (5-6; 4-3) at Eastern Michigan (6-5; 3-4)- 12:00, ESPN+: The Golden Flashes need this game to become bowl eligible and I believe they'll get it.
Pick: Kent State
Miami-Ohio (7-4; 6-1) at Ball State (4-7; 3-4)- 12:00, CBSSN
Pick: Miami-Ohio
Toledo (6-5; 3-4) at Central Michigan (7-4; 5-2)- 12:00, ESPNU
Pick: Central Michigan
(17) Iowa (8-3; 5-3) at Nebraska (5-6; 3-5)- 2:30, BTN: The Huskers need this game for bowl eligibility and I believe they'll get it done at home.

Missouri (5-6; 2-5) at Arkansas (2-9; 0-7)- 2:30, CBS
Pick: Missouri
(19) Cincinnati (10-1; 7-0) at (18) Memphis (10-1; 6-1)- 3:30, ABC: These are the best two teams in this conference and the point spread suggests the Tigers will win this comfortably since the Bearcats know they'll be in the conference title game. I do think the Tigers win it, but the Bearcats will keep it within single digits.
Pick: Memphis
(20) Boise State (10-1; 7-0) at Colorado State (4-7; 3-4)- 3:30, CBSSN
Pick: Boise State
Washington State (6-5; 3-5) at Washington (6-5; 3-5)- 4:00, FOX: This is always a fun rivalry game. The Huskies have massively underachieved this season, but I think they get the win in front of their home faithful.
Pick: Washington
West Virginia (4-7; 2-6) at TCU (5-6; 3-5)- 4:15, ESPN: The Horned Frogs need this one to become bowl eligible and I believe they get it done, but it won't be easy against an improved Mounatineers defense.
Pick: TCU
Arkansas State (7-4; 5-2) at South Alabama (1-10; 0-7)- 5:00, ESPN+
Pick: Arkansas State
(25) Appalachian State (10-1; 7-1) at Troy (5-6; 3-4)- 6:00, ESPN+: Upset special as the Mountaineers are peaking ahead a little bit.
Pick: Troy
South Florida (4-7; 2-5) at UCF (8-3; 5-2)- 8:00, ESPN
Pick: UCF
Saturday, November 30th
(1) Ohio State (11-0; 8-0) at (13) Michigan (9-2; 6-2)- 12:00, FOX: The Game is always a fun rivalry. Justin Fields and Chase Young will be the best players on the field on the respective sides of the ball and I think it will be another domination from the Buckeyes.
Pick: Ohio State
(3) Clemson (11-0; 8-0) at South Carolina (4-7; 3-5)- 12:00, ESPN: This screams domination by Trevor Lawrence and Company.
Pick: Clemson
(4) Georgia (10-1; 7-1) at Georgia Tech (3-8; 2-6)- 12:00, ABC
Pick: Georgia
Texas State (3-8; 2-5) at Coastal Carolina (4-7; 1-6)- 12:00, ESPN+

Northwestern (2-9; 0-8) at Illinois (6-5; 4-4)- 12:00, FS1

Pick: Nevada
(5) Alabama (10-1; 7-1) at (15) Auburn (8-3; 4-3)- 3:30, CBS: Iron Bowl! Always one of the best rivalry games of the season. Nothing will ever beat this ending, but I do think with the injury to Tua Tagovailoa opens it up for the Tigers to spoil any hope the Tide have of sneaking into the College Football Playoff. Tigers win it for the second time in three seasons.
Pick: Auburn
Rutgers (2-9; 0-8) at (10) Penn State (9-2; 6-2)- 3:30, BTN
Pick: Penn State
(12) Wisconsin (9-2; 6-2) at (9) Minnesota (10-1; 7-1)- 3:30, ABC: This is a big one for the rights to get to the Big-10 Championship game to face the Ohio State Buckeyes. GameDay is here for this one as well as they cross another school off the list of schools they have not visited. The Gophers are a surprising under dog in this game and I like how this offense led by Tanner Morgan is rolling. Give me the Gophers to win it to take on the Buckeyes.
Pick: Minnesota
(9) Baylor (10-1; 7-1) at Kansas (2-9; 1-7)- 3:30, ESPN
Pick: Baylor
Connecticut (2-9; 0-7) at Temple (7-4; 4-3)- 3:30, CBSSN

Pick: Louisiana Tech
Boston College (5-6; 3-5) at Pittsburgh (7-4; 4-3)- 3:30, ACCN: The Eagles are playing for a bowl spot here, but I think they fall short.
Pick: Pittsburgh
Miami (6-5; 4-3) at Duke (4-7; 2-5)- 3:30, ACCN
Pick: Duke
Maryland (3-8; 1-7) at Michigan State (5-6; 3-5)- 3:30, FS1: Sparty needs this to become bowl eligible and I believe they'll get it.
Pick: Michigan State
Oregon State (5-6; 4-4) at (12) Oregon (9-2; 7-1)- 4:00, Pac-12: This is going to be a much closer game than people expect.
Pick: Oregon
(16) Notre Dame (9-2) at Stanford (4-7; 3-6)- 4:00, FOX: This would normally be a sexy game, but not this season. The Irish should win this comfortably.
Pick: Notre Dame
Tulane (6-5; 3-4) at SMU (9-2; 5-2)- 4:00, ESPNU
Pick: SMU
Vanderbilt (3-8; 1-6) at Tennessee (6-5; 4-3)- 4:00, SECN

Pick: Utah State
Georgia State (7-4; 4-3) at Georgia Southern (6-5; 4-3)- 6:00, ESPN+
Pick: Georgia Southern
Texas A&M (7-4; 4-3) at (2) LSU (11-0; 7-0)- 7:00, ESPN: The Tigers need to show a little something to the committee after being bumped down a spot.
Pick: LSU
(23) Iowa State (7-4; 5-3) at Kansas State (7-4; 4-4)- 7:00, FS1
Pick: Kansas State
Navy (8-2; 6-1) at Houston (4-7; 2-5)- 7:00, ESPN2
Pick: Navy
North Carolina (5-6; 3-4) at NC State (4-7; 1-6)- 7:00, ACCN: The Tar Heels need this one to become bowl eligible and I believe they'll beat their in-state rivals.
Pick: North Carolina
Colorado (5-6; 3-5) at (6) Utah (10-1; 7-1)- 7:30, ABC: The Utes are under some pressure to go and get some style points to show the committee they are playoff worthy.
Pick: Utah
Florida State (6-5; 4-4) at (11) Florida (9-2; 6-2)- 7:30, SECN: This is another rivalry game I expect it to be a lot closer than the point spread suggests.
Pick: Florida
UL Monroe (5-6; 4-3) at Louisiana (9-2; 6-1)- 7:30, ESPNU
Pick: Louisiana
(7) Oklahoma (10-1; 7-1) at (21) Oklahoma State (8-3; 5-3)- 8:00, FOX: If the Cowboys quarterback wasn't injured, I would have picked them to win outright. I do think Sam Hubbard helps keep it close, but Jalen Hurts and company will win it.
Pick: Oklahoma
BYU (7-4) at San Diego State (8-3; 5-3)- 10:00, CBSSN
Pick: San Diego State
Arizona (4-7; 2-6) at Arizona State (6-5; 3-5)- 10:30, ESPN: I think there is letdown potential for the Sun Devils after the big upset win, but I think they get the win here at home in a close one.
Pick: Arizona State
California (6-5; 3-5) at UCLA (4-7; 4-4)- 10:30, FS1
Pick: UCLA
Fresno State (4-7; 2-5) at San Jose State (4-7; 1-6)- 10:30, ESPN2
Pick: San Jose State
Army (5-6) at Hawaii (8-4; 5-3)- 11:59, CBSSN: I think the Rainbow Warriors get caught peaking ahead here as the Black Knights clinch a bowl berth.
Pick: Army
